“ Love the sesame bagel with smoked Salmon so much I can order another set without hesitation. Every bite on the crust on the toasted bagel… awesome and delicious! Filling was generous and worthy. Likewise the chicken tuna sandwich. It was early when we had our breakfast at this lovely cafe. Queue lining up to grab and go as well as dining in can grow fast during morning rush hours. I have my first crush with the bagel with my first bite and would definitely designate Corner & Bench as my go to Bagel place! ”
